This paper introduces a new innovation for the analytical model to improve the throughput performance and energy efficiency for ideal channel conditions by the integration which challenges both fountain code and Markov chain modeling. In this context, the energy consumption is a critical resource that can be saved by minimizing the number of transmissions to be performed in the network. Channel contention...
Innovations in technology that have enabled efficient wireless tiny devices propelled the concept of Internet of Things. It is expected that mobile data traffic will experience 8-fold growth between 2015 and 2020 and the number of mobile connected devices will reach 11.6 billion by 2020. Main factors of this exponential growth and wide acceptance are the integration of several technologies and communications...
Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the traditional Internet where only human-centric services were offered. It has enabled objects to have the ability to connect and communicate through the Internet. IoT has several applications such as smart water management systems. However, they require high energy-efficient sensor nodes that are able to communicate across long distance. This motivates...

Automation of modern industrial plants require real-time tracking of object locations and sensing of local and ambient parameters for variety of applications such as counting and tracking of objects in assembly line, detection and positioning of failures of machines etc. Mostly, discrete Real Time Location System (RTLS) performs object tracking in existing industrial automation without its integration...
In this work, we propose an object behavior evaluation system based on wireless sensor network. By the behavior information of objects contacted with human, it can evaluate the behavior characteristics of human under the interactions between human and environment, which goes beyond the traditional evaluation methods that directly monitor human themselves. The system can track and monitor the motion...
In this paper, we present an approach to improve the accuracy of environmental sound event detection in a wireless acoustic sensor network for home monitoring. Wireless acoustic sensor nodes can capture sounds in the home and simultaneously deliver them to a sink node for sound event detection. The proposed approach is mainly composed of three modules, including signal estimation, reliable sensor...
Monitoring the environment is essential in smart cities. Buildings in urban areas make line of sight communication challenging since communication between sensor nodes has to take place over wide ranges. Most wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies do not perform well at long ranges in non-line-of-sight conditions. In this paper, a wireless communication system for communication in non-line-of-sight...

In last few decades, as a result of the advances in microelectromechanical systems, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained a considerable attention due to their low-cost, low-power and small-scale sensor nodes which are used to integrate sensing, processing, communicating capabilities to solve many different real world problems. The placement of sensor nodes is a very important step to cover...
Accurate localization of Wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) is a crucial requirement for proper diagnosis of intestinal abnormalities. A major challenge in RF based localization is the shadow fading and multi-path propagation effects of non-homogeneous medium of human body which causes high random deviations in the measured path loss resulting in high localization error. To address the randomness...

Link quality protocols employ link quality estimators to collect statistics on the wireless link either independently or cooperatively among the sensor nodes. Furthermore, link quality routing protocols for wireless sensor networks may modify an estimator to meet their needs. Link quality estimators are vulnerable against malicious attacks that can exploit them. A malicious node may share false information...
